First, it's great news!
And second, it will show that not only poor starving Nigerians are scamming to have something to eat.
This one has tried University...

^^ It's probably 50/50 wther the victims will get thier cash back from his church - unfortunately, some Nigerian churches are as corrupt as some of the other institutions over there.

It's interesting that the lad gave the proceeds of his crime to his church and it probably can't be viewed as a charitable act. Many church-going Nigerians have a strong attitude to tithing seeing it as one of the main ways to gain access to Heaven - you're literally paying your way into Paradise. They don't see tithing as a charitable act either - it's viewed as a commandment. There's really no difference between this lad and the lad who spends stolen cash on a fast car as he was still buying something to further his own interests.
It does illustrate how a lad can consolidate his crime with his religion though - he breaks one commandment to fulfill another that will be more beneficial to him.

You can see what an emotive subject it is to Nigerians just by looking at the length of the thread.

Thanks Anyway, I read there often but usually not the 419 related threads (deliberately not). -

Translation: he got someone pregnant!

EDIT: I just realised: I sent this guy money for his bail by M. G.!

Some insight into the rationalizing that allows lads to scam people:

from the article wrote:

According to EFCC the suspect denied defrauding his victims, adding "they are all my friends. I didn't defraud any one. I only asked for assistance and they were willing to help."
